It's also noted that obct & cRazy were also here from the start!
some good stuff their Symondo. i liked the post Mac did about surfing a sucky low tide day and got hammed , lucky boy their Mac, a bloke i know, just early this year lost his fight for life after hitting a sandbar on the goldie ten years ago.
I like Mac's final post on the subject of a possible longboard forum (circa 09). Safe to say it is a huge success.

Oh Lordy Lordy, I just had a look at my profile, April 3rd 2009
I had no idea I've been here that long
I really need to get a life
No, really, I do enjoy it here, provided I don't start taking things too seriously, I reckon I could hang around for a bit longer.
Ps. Yes, I do remember that earlier today I promised to post some pics of the sh!tglitter results, but I'm just a bit bunged up for now I know I'll eat a Pear, that always works a treat
Jeepers Simondo thanks for that......I now need to shut SB down for the rest of the day so i can do some much needed work.....but before I go I thought I had better share a few other classics from Mac in the early days - I saw that Cracy and Lfish were one of the first 20 as well. A few of the others have dropped off which is a shame. Some of those early topics make for great reading
Anyway here are a few Mac Specials.........
mac on the attack (for a longboard forum)
thousand RUMS mate its game on!
I've got two 9.4's both 23 x 3 both McTavish! (must have been tough times only having 2 )
I'll have to get my kids to teach me upload/download,so I can post so pics!
I am thinking of taking the SUP and board (what da farrrk - its a 666 Mac )
But this one is my favourite my a country mile......
Went down to check the QP today and after a week of crap,it started to lift around 12 today! I paddled out with the PAK and it was game on! After catching a couple of 2 to 3 footers,a smok'n set rolled in,I took the second wave of the set!I alway's look to the left,not one to drop in and noticed number 9 KS the man himself ripping the bags out of this 4 footer! Should I go? **** yeh! KS could give me the bird tell me to F-off or call me in! He called me in so I guess I dropped in haha! super cool !
If a bit of glitter down a toilet bowl was all I had to contend with on a daily basis, I would be a happy man.
But at work I must spend many thousands of dollars each year having toilets unblocked because they're full of hand towels.
And those are only the ones that my cleaners can't unblock.
I never would have believed anyone if they told me at the start of my working life, I would need to understand the sh!tting habits of people's from all around the world
funny stuff fellas. i actually went through them all when mac first told me how it started. made me laugh
